Not based on what the director of OMB said yesterday. The statements regarding cutting the deficit in half over the next 4 (5?) years includes this amount, even though it is not a line item in the budget. And for those of you who are concerned with misleading, the fact that the up to $50B number is a contingent liability is highlighted in the budget. We can argue (or agree) as to the contents of the budget, but allegations of intentionally misleading are factually untrue.
